Obama uses executive action to tighten gun control
Imports curbed, background check loophole closed
With Congress failing to pass gun control legislation in the wake of the Newtown Conn. and other shootings, the Obama administration yesterday imposed new gun control measures by way of executive actions.
The changes include curbing the import of military surplus weapons and closing a little-known loophole that lets felons and others circumvent background checks by registering guns to corporations.
